Certified Landscaping in Lynn, MA 01904 - Stone And Sod

Poor grading is a common issue in our area that can lead to water damage. We address this by first assessing the drainage flow on your property. Solutions often involve regrading the soil to create proper slope away from your home's foundation and installing functional French drains or dry wells. For a more integrated solution, we can incorporate a new retaining wall or patio with built-in drainage channels. This not only solves the water issue but also creates an attractive, usable hardscape feature for your yard.

Absolutely. As a full-service masonry and landscaping company, we manage the entire project from concept to completion. For a patio, this means we design and install the stone or concrete base, handle any necessary sealing, and then seamlessly integrate the surrounding softscape. This includes grading, planting beds, sod installation, or adding features like an outdoor kitchen. Handling all aspects ensures cohesive design, proper drainage, and a single point of contact for you, making the process smoother and the final result more unified.

It depends on the extent of the damage and the wall's construction. We offer detailed assessments for masonry and retaining wall repair. For walls with minor cracking or settling, we can often perform repairs by resetting stones, repointing mortar, and applying a professional sealant to prevent future water damage. However, if the wall's structural integrity is compromised or it's failing due to improper drainage—a common issue here—reconstruction might be the safer, more cost-effective long-term solution. We'll provide a straightforward recommendation based on your wall's condition.
